What do I do with this can of sardines?

1 – Sardines with Roquefort cheese

In the bowl of a blender, place 160 g of drained sardines in olive oil. Add a stalk of celery cut into cubes, 5 cl of white port, salt and freshly ground pepper. Mix everything at high speed. When the mixture is fine, add 100 g of Roquefort. We reduce the speed and climb in a continuous trickle with the oil in the box. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours so that the puree takes on a more solid consistency. To be served on slices of toasted country bread.
